If you look right or left, behind or in front, you see priests on every side, Franciscan friars and Dominicans, Carmelites and Capuchins, priests in brown cloth and priests in serge, priests in red and white and grey, priests in purple and priests in rags, standing on the church-steps, stopping at the doorways, coming down the bye-streets, looking out of the windows you see priests everywhere and always.
Henry II often resided in it when it was called Hôtel de Montmorency. Taking the Rue Ste. Croix de la Bretonnerie, we shall find that the first turning in it is the Rue des Billettes, where stand the Lutheran Church; it was built in 1745, and belonged to the Carmelite Friars.
The flag of Spain had been carried through the streets in solemn procession, the cathedral altar had smoked with incense, the friars had chanted the "Te Deum," but now all was gayety and music and perfume. A ball was among the festivities, and military and civic officers, pranked in the lace and bullion so dear to the Latins, were going through the narrow ways with their ladies on their arms.
These men lived together in Israel until a very late date in guilds, the so-called schools of the prophets. They were, in fact, a species of begging friars, and were held by the people in a contempt which they evidently did their best to deserve.
Who are they? who are the cowled monks, the hooded friars who glide with shrouded faces in the procession of life, muttering in an unknown tongue words of mysterious import?
Slander and dollars are the wheels on which moves the propaganda that would substitute Gospel Christianity for the superstitions of Rome.

He was now at Arblaster's heels, and suddenly sniffing and pricking his ears, he darted forward and began to bark furiously at the two sham friars. His master unsteadily followed him. "Hey, shipmates!" he cried. "Have ye ever a penny pie for a poor old shipman, clean destroyed by pirates?
Clive was John James's youthful divinity; when he wanted to draw Thaddeus of Warsaw, a Prince, Ivanhoe, or some one splendid and egregious, it was Clive he took for a model. His heart leapt when he saw the young fellow. He would walk cheerfully to Grey Friars with a letter or message for C. on the chance of seeing him and getting a kind word from him or a shake of the hand.
"Eh! there is plenty of time now," said the good Colonel. "I have all day long at Grey Friars, after chapel, you know. Do you know, sir, when I was a boy I used what they call to tib out and run down to a public-house in Cistercian Lane the Red Cowl sir, and buy rum there? I was a terrible wild boy, Clivy. You weren't so, sir, thank Heaven!
"Whence, then, did it come?" asked the duke. "No arquebuse has been found, and a careful scrutiny has been made." "Aye!" echoed the friars. "Whence else did it come? Whence, my Lord d'Hymbercourt, whence?" I had noticed our Irish servant Michael standing near one of the friars.
